Mitt Romni supported Israel

With a frequency of four years, each presidential candidate tends to surpass a competitor when it comes to how skilled his policy regarding Israel will be. The current election campaign was no exception. On July 29, Mitt Romny met in Israel with the leaders of the country. Romnie performed in Jerusalem with a public speech, in which, trying to emphasize his difference from President Obama, he said that he would have reacted to Israel's intention to attack Iran nuclear objects. Romny said about the need to use all measures without exception in order to dissuade the Iranian regime from his nuclear program:

We warmly hope that diplomatic and economic measures will contribute to this. But, ultimately, of course, no options should be excluded. We recognize Israel's right to self -defense - and it is fair to be with you for America.

Jerusalem is the second point of the international trip of the former Governor Massachusetts, in which he expects to create an attractive image of the skilled creator of US foreign policy. Having declared the admissibility of Israeli’s military strike on Iran as an extreme measure, Romny did not particularly pedal this topic. But his senior foreign policy adviser Dan Senor had previously stated that Romny would belong to such an Israeli campaign. This comment is defeated by Romny Obama, who exerts pressure on Israel in order to avoid any proactive blow to Iran until the Economic sanctions of the West against Tehran are exhausted.

In turn, President Obama on Friday made a gesture, which, according to analysts, was supposed to reduce the value of Romni's visit to Israel. Obama, whom some consider not sufficiently pronounced, organized a television broadcast of the signing of a routine bill in the White House to provide the United States with Israel of the annual financial assistance for the needs of defense and security. This assistance includes funds to strengthen the technologically advanced Israeli missile defense system "Iron Dome".

“In many ways, this Bill leads outstanding cooperation between our two countries truly to an unprecedented level that emphasizes our unshakable obligations to ensure the safety of Israel,” said Barack Obama , signing the military assistance bill Israel.

In his speech in Jerusalem, Mitt Romni called this city the capital of Israel. Until now, the White House is trying to avoid the expression of its specific position on the status of Jerusalem. The question of the status was left as the subject of negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians - the latter claim the eastern part of the city as the capital of their alleged independent state. The law adopted in the United States in 1995 defines Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and first orders the American embassy to move there from Tel Aviv. However, the last three American presidents temporarily abolished the law, referring to security considerations.

Timothy Remer , former US Ambassador to India, and now the foreign policy adviser to the Barack Obama campaign headquarters, in a Sunday interview with CNN, CNN commented on the performance of Mitt Romni in Jerusalem:

- The sacred city of Jerusalem as a distant plan for Mitt Romny’s speech looked very impressive. And Romny himself spectacularly spoke of the common interests and values of the Americans and Israelis. However, with all the frankness, I note that the critical line for the former governor Romny is the question of whether he was prepared for the role of the Supreme Commander -in -Chief of the United States. When he stops in the UK on the current trip, brings offense to the British, and Prime Minister Cameron with the mayor of London reports him for this, then the question arises: if he cannot find a common language with our allies on such a simple topic as international Olympic games, how hard he can be in confronts with our serious enemies, like Iran? Who will Iran perceive more seriously under the threat of a military decision? Barack Obama, who effectively used our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, returned them home, treated them with dignity, ensured work? Or Mitta Romni, who, when visiting Great Britain, now and then allowed misses in rather simple issues?

According to American observers, although Mitt Romni on the current foreign trip wants to establish himself a world -class politician, his stop in Israel was aimed at receiving the votes of American voters from among the gospel Christians, as well as to moderate the support received by Obama from voters of Jewish origin. The results of the Gallup service published on Friday indicate that the Jewish voters prefer Obama Romney in a ratio of 68 to 25 points.
